energy production in 2014. we will be joined by adam sieminski and frank verrastro. >> i think writers institute is something that is very important within the culture. we are a culture of words, of voices. words are key to our imagination, our capacity to invasion -- envision things. we ourselves are not completely tied to print on the page, but there is no other art forms so readily accessible other than perhaps film, which we work with, too. there is something in literature that just captures the human spirit. >> this weekend, joined "book tv" and "american history tv" as we look at the historic and literary life of new york's capital, albany. >> the chiefs of staff had to make the plan for the invasion of japan without considering the atomic bomb. it was estimated it would cost 700,000. >> i choose to honor both, both the sacrifice of american servicemen fighting their way to the pacific and of a little girl who died as a result of an atomic bombing. it is unimaginable but that must of been like -- what tha

larger water heaters are within the scope of the energy policy act and are rated using a thermal efficiency or t.e. rating. the problem facing american manufacturers is that under the current rules of the road only the small water heaters are deemed eligible for the energy star program. this is nonsensical. it's an outdated measure. and disqualifies our large american made water heaters from being covered by the energy star ratings, regardless of how advanced or how highly efficient they may be. . the legislation before us today would provide the necessary regulatory and business certainty that is needed by our manufacturers. this legislation has the potential of adding upwards of 1,000 jobs for domestic water heater manufacturers, many of them are in my home state of tennessee, where there are already 3,000 jobs directly involved in the manufacturing of water heaters. i thank the chairman again. i thank mr. aderholt and i also want to commend the gentleman and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman fro

we're seeing nuclear energy, for example, nuclear power plants will come to the region relatively soon if the arab spring does not interfere with those plans. the projections that are on the books come to be realized. if you go country by country and realize what the motivations might be, there are many factors and might lead in a different direction. it is difficult to make nuclear weapons. we would certainly push back on any of these states that are seeking to acquire nuclear arms. many of the states are very dependent on us. even saudi arabia is dependent on us to protect them right now , and provide advanced military equipment. that relationship would be completely endangered if they were seen to be moving down the wrong track. the same is true for egypt. maybe algeria, any other state we would like to identify. i do not need the cascade and to get extremely nervous about iran. there is much to worry about there. just an iran per se, and the threat they will present to us and others. focusing on iran because of what it can do itself. >> let me be a little more pessimistic. prolifer
